DUAL DIAMOND RUNNER
​
Envisioning the future of performance
An exploration of geometric manipulation
CREATION PROCESS
Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS):
a crystalline structure repeated in three-dimensions,
spanning the smallest possible area of its given boundary.
Diamond TPMS:
A surface formed from the summation of trigonometric 'sin' and cos' curves
​
Diamond = sin(x)sin(y)sin(z)+sin(x)cos(y)cos(z)+cos(x)sin(y)cos(z)+cos(x)sin(y)cos(z)
Mechanical Benefit of Diamond Structures:
​
Compressive, bending-dominated geometry
​
Uniform stress distribution
​
Structural lightweighting
​
Vibrational Damping
Phase Transitions: manipulation of internal architecture
​
Controllability over the transition and nature of
open spaces (air) with solid surfaces (wall)
​
Allows for variations in weight, compressibility, and regional stiffness
Single Phase
Dual Phase
Double Single Phase
Double Dual Phase
Dual Diamond Running Midsole
​
Grid of air pores across the center of the midsole for cushioning and rebound
​
Top and bottom regions thicker for greater support and durability
Field Map Texturing

The potential for 3D-printed structures to outperform traditional foam models
surely exists and is only yet to realized
